Falls (PnH)

River Description

OK. This is serious park-and-huck stuff. Gradient is off the charts (OK, not literally, but . . .). Your first view of this long sliding falls is impressive. The first time I hiked up for a look (with not enough water in it), looking at the whole thing I thought 'no way'! Then I looked at the bottom-most stretch, and said "I could do that". I hiked up some more and said "by itself, I could do that". Hiked up some more and said "Hmmm, I could do that." But . . . feeling good about putting the whole thing together . . . I had a hard time convincing myself I would want to do that. However, a good number of folks have done it. The ride has got to be amazing. And the view is impressive, looking out to Lake Superior (AS IF you have time to take that in, once you are in your boat dropping this monster).
